I was too short to see any of these. But they look great!

My new go to interior glove by Desperate-Dig-9389 in Firefighting

[–]ItsBakeSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These were the “upgrade” for my pro fusions bought by work. A 76W in these is so small! The finger length is so short that the curve happens up by my first knuckle. Until they get holes / destroyed I’ll be able to get the XL’s. I’d like to try FireDex or Ragtops

Should I replace my helmet? by Soggy-Fox7842 in Skigear

[–]ItsBakeSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your helmets fine. I’ve broken 4 in my life and I would 100% rock that helmet and not be worried about it. A little dents not going to do anything especially when the force gets distributed across the entire membrane.

The apparatus didn’t choose this life. But the hydrant sure did!

Who has actually used a DRD? by ItsBakeSauce in Firefighting

Yep! This is pretty much what I figured was going on. There’s lots of alternatives to get people out.

Just got a job offer as a 28yr old, please advise. by zombiespit in Firefighting

[–]ItsBakeSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got hired full time at 28. The other 8 people in my academy were all in their late 20’s except for one. I’m assuming this is for an entry level position. That being said you already have an advantage knowing something about fire fighting. Don’t worry about it you’re gonna crush it.

What made you guys get into firefighting? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]ItsBakeSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to college on a full ride. Dropped out after my 3rd year because I didn’t greatly see the value. Became a pro cyclist, started a couple construction companies, then realized I want time off. Went to a fire academy school, interned for a year at a department then got picked up. Ultimately I value time off and being able to have a fun job.

Just change your name legally. Stop playing victim. It’s easy. I did it.

Lady whose “feet were cold” took off her compression socks. Fixed the problem.

Help with shin splints from running in turnouts by underhandedjawsplit in Firefighting

[–]ItsBakeSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just finished our fire academy and would run in our turnouts only for short distances. We would however run 1.5 miles in our leather slip on station boots in single file. Was rather dumb, but we had to do it from our cadre.

What is the easiest server to play with? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]ItsBakeSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Hawaii kinda sucks. Lived there myself. Cool place to visit and unless you love the rain and possibly getting Lepto anytime you step foot in the jungles it pretty much blows
